Self Threading Sewing Machine Needles # 90 (5pk)

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

These are standard sewing machine needles with a self-threading eye, meaning there's a small slot or notch in the needle that lets you slide thread in from the side rather than pushing it through a tiny hole. That one design change makes sewing accessible to people who have difficulty with the fine motor precision required to thread a conventional needle — particularly useful for people with low vision, hand tremors, or reduced finger dexterity. This is a complete, ready-to-use product; you get five size 90 needles that fit most sewing machines made in the last couple of decades and install just like any standard replacement needle. These are size 90 (medium-weight), so they're not ideal for very lightweight fabrics like silk or sheer, or for heavy materials like denim.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  
  1. Remove the existing needle from your sewing machine using the needle clamp screw.
  2. Insert the self-threading needle with the flat side of the shank facing the correct direction for your machine.
  3. Slide thread into the needle's side slot rather than threading through the eye conventionally.
